Game description

“...smart paced and extremely rewarding.” - 4.5/5 – Co-Optimus

“...really amazing and a lot of fun.” - 90/100 – Gamers Haven

“Moving light sources around the screen to help the shadow get around is a fantastic idea and sets Shadow Puppeteer apart from the vast majority of platformers on the market which use more basic jump mechanics to engross the player.” - VGChartz

Being separated from your shadow must be tough. That's the concept of Shadow Puppeteer. It's puzzle game mixed with a bit of platforming where you play a boy AND his shadow. An evil guy (The Shadow Puppeteer) has separated them from each other and they must now travel a gloomy and very beautiful levels to solve the situation (And save some other peoples' shadows).
The game uses an art style reminiscent that is reminiscent of movies like Coraline or ParaNorman. It's a bit dark but charming in its own way, just like the soundtrack.
The gameplay is pretty basic. Think of it as a coop-version of Limbo. It's pretty much the same. Blocks to push, levers to use, a bit of playing with the gravity. But this time, there are two characters to control. Or you can play in local coop with a friend.
The puzzles are smart and well designed. It's a fun little adventure game with a refreshing feature.
